See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645489%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^]. It really makes life easier if you read the documentation for the controls you use.

I am using a dialog box...

So the dialog box is created and displayed via your code, or are you wanting to access a dialog box from some other app?

What type of control specifically?

@DavidCroww

Dialog box is displayed via my code.

And there are lots of text on my dialog box and I have to copy the whole text available there on the dialog box.

So if the dialog box belongs to your app, and you are populating the controls on it, then don't you already have access to the text?

Hi
I am trying to run a Legacy MFC application in Debug buil(earlier it was always built in Release Build (with debug info)). While loading resource using LoadToolBar() funtion ::FindResource fails while it succeeds in the Relase build. Can any body help me with this.

Thanks and Regards

Without seeing the code that is in error it is impossible to guess what the problem may be.

Probably uninitialized variables or invalid/NULL pointers.

Have a look at

This is the opposite problem of what the OP stated.
OP stated: works in release, fails in debug
things you're referring to: work in debug, fail in release

C++ code to manage 3 keypads connected to one PC?

When it comes to resources, it could be any number of things... if you make the call within a dll and not the main application, you have to make sure to have the resources of the main application loaded and not the dll's resources.

In any case, hard to tell without more info and some code.

3 users are connected to one pc using 3 usb keypads. A record is shown and each user have to input a number like 7.7 or 600 or 7.5 then they will press ENTER. Done.
So as an example problem: user2 starts to type 7 and user1 starts typing 5. the computer is already getting 75. You can see the problem.
I need a utility/code to isolate the input.
I have seen it in an auction software and also using xbox playing games.
In the auction software 3 black boxes are seen in the PC. Once a user starts the black box associated with that user, turn gray. Same as the other users. When all users have pressed ENTER, All boxes are revealed with the entries.
Until now we only had to enter one digit per box, so 3 keypads were no problem. The system right now have the 3 boxes in the screen.

This article presents a solution for this problem in C# but relies on P/Invoke-ing, so it should be rather easy to re-implement it in C++: Using Raw Input from C# to handle multiple keyboards[^]

I mentioned that article first because I know its solution works, but there are a lot more articles on keyboard hooking, some of which use C++, so there might be an even simpler solution for you:

That is the best news I got. Thanks, many thanks.
It definitely address the objective. Now is time to digest all of it.
Thanks again. I will keep you posted

Can you contact me?
How can I contact a member?

Re: C++ code to manage 3 keypads connected to one PC?

12-May-15 7:27

I would prefer it if you post follow-up questions here Smile | :)

That would probably also be more helpful for you, since I'm not too much into C++; so other members could help out then.

I am not that good in c+++ and was hoping to find some one to help me to interface the code from Steve Messer and Emma Burrow.
It would be great to reach either one.
But it seems difficult.

Sascha Lefèvre12-May-15 8:57

Re: C++ code to manage 3 keypads connected to one PC?

12-May-15 8:57

In that case I would suggest to look at the other search results (articles) to find a solution that's already in C++
